Analysis
George Weston Limited (WN) currently trades at C$100.63, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is C$147.70, implying the stock looks roughly 46.8% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 64/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Defensive sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: medium), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, George Weston Limited generated revenue of C$65.1B at a net margin of 1.8%. Revenue grew 4.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 19.4%. Net debt stands at C$18.1B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from C$81.39 (bear case) to C$217.04 (bull case); at C$100.63, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The last reported earnings sit well below what analysts expect (earnings in transition, for example after write-downs or an earnings dip); whether the stock is cheap or expensive hinges on the expected recovery actually arriving. Read the fair value with that caveat. The share trades about 3% below its 52-week high and 22% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at -29% fair-value upside, at 47%, WN screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 23 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models (C$101.98) versus Asset-Based (C$9.38). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
